Cl,opter 32: Structured Products
|
||||
Option
|
||||
5-year call, strike = 10
|
||||
5-year call, strike = 25
|
||||
Theoretical Price
|
||||
7.30
|
||||
3.70
|
||||
611
|
||||
Thus, the value of the bull spread would be approximately 3.60 (7.30 minus
|
||||
3.70). The structured product would then be worth 13.60- the base price of 10, plus
|
||||
the value of the spread:
|
||||
"Theoretical" cash value= 10 + 3.60 - Cost of carry= 13.60 - Cost of carry
|
||||
It may seem strange to say that the value of the structured product is actually
|
||||
less than the cash value, but that is what the call feature does: It reduces the worth
|
||||
of the structured product to values below what the cash value formula would indi
|
||||
cate.
|
||||
Given this information, we can predict where the structured product would trade at
|
||||
any price or at any time prior to maturity. Let's look at a more extreme example, then,
|
||||
one in which the Internet index has a tremendously big run to the upside.
|
||||
Example: Suppose that the Internet index has risen to 525 with four years of life
|
||||
remaining until maturity of the structured product. This is well above the index
|
||||
equivalent call price of 375. Again, it is first necessary to translate the index price
|
||||
back to an equivalent price of the structured product, using either percentage gains
|
||||
or the cash value formula:
|
||||
Cash value = 10 x (525/ 150) = 35
|
||||
Again, using the Black-Scholes model, we can determine the following theo
|
||||
retical values:
|
||||
Underlying price: 35
|
||||
Option
|
||||
3-year c~strike = 10
|
||||
3-year call, strike = 25
|
||||
Theoretical Price
|
||||
25.50
|
||||
14.70
|
||||
Now, the value of the bull spread is 10.80 (25.50 minus 14.70). The deepest in
|
||||
the-money option is trading near parity, but the (written) option is only 10 points in
|
||||
the-money and thus has quite a bit of time value premium remaining, since there are
|
||||
three years of life left:
|
||||
"Theoretical" cash value = 10 + 10.80 = 20.80 - Cost of carry
